The Choose Your Own Adventure Poems
In this workshop, we will create poems that unfold in multiple, surprising ways. Like the original choose your own adventure books, we will experiment with alternate endings, hidden stanzas, and poems that can be read in many more ways than one. Some poems are houses, but this workshop will encourage mazes, secret doors, and other unexpected and interactive possibilities. If you want to enter the forest, turn to page 3…
This workshop is FREE, aimed at young students aged 12–18, and limited to 12 participants.
